?:abstract
  • Food security has always been a critical issue for humankind. In particular, despite the efforts of the United Nations to end hunger and all forms of malnutrition by 2030 (SDG 2 Zero Hunger), recent data are more likely to suggest that this will not be reached if current trends remain unchanged. The study presented in this chapter investigates the attitudes and beliefs of European citizens regarding food security and, to a certain extent, food safety. Moreover, it aims at evaluating whether Eurobarometer surveys are useful for drawing opinions on these trends. Data have been retrieved from the cross-country surveys of the Eurobarometer and Special Eurobarometer from 2010 to 2022. The Eurobarometer changes questions over time, adapting them to the current most urgent issues regarding the food system, making comparisons over time difficult when not impossible. However, as far as the questions of this study are concerned, the Eurobarometer surveys are useful tools for understanding how opinions change, particularly vis-à-vis food safety and, to a lesser extent, food security, due to its complexity. The present study suggests that individuals are less concerned with food security than food safety. However, when analyzing each pillar of food security, it emerges a more nuanced picture. The study highlights that an increasing number of respondents are worried about the stability of food security, due to extreme natural events caused by climate change. This concern is not translated into a change in the actual utilization of food, which is driven by diet and personal health issues, but into a higher request for actions from the European institutions.
